Complains about the control of the British press and the shameless reporters. Includes information about a paper he is writing embracing Lord Comblimere's case, starting with the address of 40 Planters to the People of England and the groundlessness of slavery. Excerpt: "I shall be glad to receive the W.I. [West Indies] article you mention but it is hopeless to carry on a warfare of that kind with men who are shameless, reckless, & have almost every London newspaper at their command by corrupt means while we can answer them only by pamphlets or volumes."
